Even if you think Donald Trump is a blind squirrel, remember that even a blind squirrel can often stumble over a nut. Let me be as blunt as I can possibly be: The idea that the Constitution prevents us from barring entry to this country of those who are committed to our subjugation or annihilation is just plain stupid. Those promulgating this view are at best dangerous ignoramuses. If the Constitution was really such a suicide pact it would itself automatically be illegitimate. The God-given, unalienable right to self-protection is the first part of the natural law, which precedes and...

"In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of...

We Americans are a kind and compassionate mostly-Christian people. History backs up that claim. However, our enemies have perfected the art of using our kindness and compassion against us. At no time has this been demonstrated more vividly than today, when Muslim and Leftist propagandists use the horrible plight of children and women (a plight Leftists and Muslims brought about) to try and tug on our heartstrings so that we will naively admit millions more Islamists into our country, a large majority of whom perfectly fit the profile of those who have committed thousands of vicious terrorist attacks around the...

The U.S. government was not instituted to take care of you. It was not instituted to feed you. It was not instituted to provide you with health care or insurance. It was not instituted to provide income for you in your old age. It was not instituted to educate you or your children. It was not instituted to dictate how your land could be used. It was not instituted to provide subsidies or special favors to some individuals and businesses. It was not instituted to prevent you from being offended. It was not instituted to provide charity programs for the...

NOVEMBER 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address where 50,000 soldiers were killed or wounded in a 3 day battle: "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for...

The first stated purpose of the U.S. Constitution is "to form a more perfect Union." Allowing immigrants into this country when their religion/political ideology is completely hostile to, and incompatible with, the principles upon which American republican self-government is premised makes that first stated purpose totally impossible of fulfillment. As has been stated, correctly, so many times, the Constitution is not a suicide pact.

Sometimes our poor efforts as earthly fathers do provide a small glimmer of the awesome nature of our all-powerful, loving Heavenly Father. Today we took all the kids to a park they love which is near family we're visiting. It's kind of a tradition to go there every couple of years when we're out here. Anyhow, this park has a rope climb in the shape of a big pyramid. It's the top draw of this particular place. It's fairly safe, although it really is very high. The top of the pyramid is probably forty to fifty feet off the ground....

John Quincy Adams wrote (reacting to the Russo-Turkish wars): "In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth.

What exactly is a conservative, in the historical American sense of that word? A conservative is someone who understands the self-evident truth that our rights come from God, not from any man. A conservative is someone who understands that, before anything else, legitimate human government exists to equally protect and defend our God-given, unalienable, individual rights, including the rights of those who are as yet unborn. A conservative is someone who understands the simple difference between right and wrong. A conservative is someone who understands the fundamental, crucial nature of the God-created, God-defined, God-instituted marital union of one man and...

I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner. The other 11 videos that were banned by court order from the Center for Medical Progress have been hacked and are now out on the web via GotNews.com. A hacker named Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer got the footage and uploaded it to YouTube. It is still there for now. Of course, Charles Johnson is being threatened with severe legal consequences over this, but he’s doing it anyway. Good for him. GotNews.com is standing on constitutional principles on this one and we’ll see if they prevail under the First Amendment. But you can bet the hounds...

I'm such a hater, I truly am. I hate lying, deceptive politicians with a purple passion, especially the ones who lie about how "pro-life" they are. This morning I got a piece of junk mail in my PO box from Jeb Bush's "Right to Rise" PAC telling me how much the former governor has "promoted a culture of life." He uses "No Empty Washington Rhetoric," they say. In fact, everything in this slick, expensive mailer is "empty Washington rhetoric". All Bush did as governor of Florida was pay lip service to protecting innocent human life, while, like most NRTL politicians,...

Carly Fiorina’s recent interview with Jan Mickelson on WHO Radio on Friday is getting some attention namely because of what she denied. “Here in Iowa when you say Supreme Court decisions are the law of the land that sets us off because Iowans got bludgeoned by court decisions here, and we went through Civics 101 and we don’t accept propositions that court decisions are the law of the land,” Mickelson said. “Actually, with all due respect Jan, I think that is a quote from someone else, not from me. I know there are many Republican candidates, Kasich among them, who...

Winteregg elated at the news that John Boehner is resigning. (Troy, OH) – In the wake of the announcement that Speaker John Boehner will be resigning, JD Winteregg has released this statement: “Like most other conservatives, Americans, and Ohioans, I was elated when I heard the news that John Boehner would be resigning. While I thank the speaker for his years of service, I think this news speaks volumes about the state of Washington DC, the GOP, and conservatism generally. Every voter I talk to is disgusted with the abysmal failure that is the Republican resistance to Barack Obama. We...

Took a fall off a step ladder yesterday while picking apples and broke my wrist. Surgery tomorrow at noon to put in a plate. Please pray that it goes well. Thanks. EV

Opinions are sometimes right, and sometimes wrong. But they aren't law. In the early days of our government, Supreme Court opinions were so insignificant that Congress didn't bother preserving them. Opinions were left to individuals to keep track of, and were not congressionally-funded into official records until 1874, almost a century after our independence. Before Congress stepped in, Court records were printed and kept under copyright by private citizens and reporters, who sold them for profit. Opinions of the Court were kept "loosey-goosey" for decades, and not preserved with certified integrity. Actual statute was held officially and carefully, in order...

NEW YORK, July 30, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - Until the eve of his presidential campaign, Jeb Bush was director of a philanthropy that gave tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood and financed its advocacy of "unrestricted access to abortion" around the world. The charity also approved money to global abortion providers while he sat on its board. In 2010, Jeb was named one of the founding directors of the Bloomberg Family Foundation, established as a tax-exempt foundation to advance the vision of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He resigned from the board at the end of 2014...
